Researchers at Arizona State University’s Institute of Human Origins are remembering the late Primatologist Jane Goodall, who died Wednesday at 91.
Professor Ian Gilby with the organization said it partnered with the Goodall Institute to house archives from their research at Gombe National Park in Tanzania.
"She dedicated her life to travelling around the globe and educating people about the plight of chimpanzees and the planet," Gilby said.
Gilby said she inspired his career path. He wrote his dissertation on the chimpanzees in Tanzania and has lead long-term research at the park.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This story has been updated to reflect that Gilby met and worked together with Goodall, according to the Institute.
